|---|
| Description | A vulnerability was found in GPAC up to commit f1219cde (2026-07-25) and classified as critical. Affected is the function gf_list_count in the file utils/list.c of the component MP4Box. The manipulation via a crafted MP4 file processed with the -nstatx argument leads to a segmentation fault due to use-after-free. It is possible to launch the attack locally. User interaction is required.
Technical Details
- Affected file/function: utils/list.c / gf_list_count
- Vulnerable parameter: Scene command referencing a freed node list during scene graph command application
- Attack vector: Local
- Privileges required: None
- Trigger condition: Processing a crafted MP4 file with "MP4Box -nstatx" causes gf_sg_command_apply to access a node list that was freed by a prior command
Impact
- Confidentiality: Low
- Integrity: Low
- Availability: High
CVSS v3.1
Score: 7.8 (High)
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H
